I know what you mean. I'm sure that I'm not always losing focus when this happens. These 'distractions' sometimes are actually signposts along my way and also bear investigation. For me, nature is a 'home base', an interlude, and place of peace. The 'business' of daily living and its people are also where my energies are directed. Carrying the inner light outward, if you will. Though much more difficult for me to have the courage to follow, I know that the direction of my energy and attention at times needs to be there. I have to remember that my inner light is designed to shine.

About...

I think I was born with a crayon in my hand. My baby book has drawings done when I was two...you can almost tell what they are! (The hammer and the urge to build came later--I was 5 when I built my first wood and nails project.)
I've kept an artist's journal for decades, recording, celebrating, observing, learning, and sometimes coping with everyday life!
I've been a working artist for 35 years and more, and have written and illustrated 34 books. These include 9 for North Light Books and two art books for The Sierra Club. I make art almost every day--because I have to. It's me.

Making art is like breathing, to me. It's sustaining, it's healing, it's delight. It's how I celebrate; it's how I learn; it's how I show love, care, and respect; it's how I cope.

This started out as my fine arts gallery blog, and I will still occasionally offer art or link to my Etsy shop...but for the most part it's about art and life and creativity. And cats, don't forget cats.

It is very important to me to put art into the hands of those who will enjoy it most, and I hope you will find something that pleases your soul, in your price range. All art is original unless otherwise stated, and all are available unless marked "sold."
